mondays always find me with at least two heavy bags, one on each shoulder, as i make my way through the morning commute. it's because on mondays, i bring in all the breakfast, lunch, snacks and shakes i need for the week ahead (most of which i prepare on sundays).
although it makes for an annoying commute for sure, it means that i'm not leaving things up to chance, a lesson my therapist carrie taught me a long time ago when the plan of choice was weight watchers and it was about having zero points snacks on hand for when the dreaded (and fantasized about) cupcakes ended up in the kitchen at my office. these days, not leaving it to chance means i need to know i have what i know i need...high protein foods, foods i know i tolerate well and foods i know the calorie count on. by getting it all together on sunday, i know i have things properly portioned and weighed so that my meals and snacks are no-brainers during the week. it's a worthy trade-off for the time on sunday and the heavy commute on monday.
today i brought:
-three 1 oz portions of jarslberg
-three 1 oz portions of asiago
-container of seedless grapes
-five 3 oz portions of scrambled eggs and egg whites
-one package of turkey bacon which i cooked yesterday (shadybrook farms reheats very nicely, i find)
-one package of sliced turkey breast
-lightly salted corn thin cakes
-three ready to drink protein shakes
-one bag of sliced cucumbers
-one bag of grape tomatoes
-container of low fat sour cream onion dip
yes, it was all really heavy, but now i don't have to worry about it for the rest of the week. the only thing that could improve matters would be a town car to bring me and my luggage in on monday mornings.
